NY Lavender Festival: Nine Days of Purple in Bloom North of the Finger Lakes

For nine days in early July, a working lavender farm in Red Creek fills the air with something you do not expect this close to upstate New York — the smell of Provence. The NY Lavender Festival brings visitors to the fields at peak bloom for u-pick cutting, culinary demonstrations, lavender distilling, and the simple pleasure of standing in a sea of purple under a summer sky. It is the kind of unexpected day trip that reminds you how much the Finger Lakes region rewards a little curiosity.

Date: Saturday, July 4 – Sunday, July 12, 2026 Time: TBD Location: Red Creek, NY (Wayne County) Cost: TBD
